Three Kingdoms: The most powerful behind-the-scenes boss

Yingchuan.

Changshe.

The situation today is embarrassing.

Before, there were two commanders of the first army, but now there are three commanders of the first army.

Although they had a great victory over Bocai Yellow Turban, they would inevitably divide their forces to attack next.

Cao Cao was not stupid. Comparing Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun objectively, he found that the strength of his men was too weak, with only two thousand soldiers and horses. Even if prisoners were included, the number was only more than six thousand.

Compared with Yuzhou, Nanyang, and Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Nanyang were the hardest hit areas by the Yellow Turbans. As long as the emperor was not stupid, he would definitely hand over these two places to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

So......

The only thing left for him is Yanzhou.

Although the Yanzhou Yellow Turbans are relatively weak, they are still much stronger than their own six thousand troops.

Cao Cao felt a little melancholy and didn't know how to deal with it!

Someday.

Just as Cao Cao was discussing countermeasures in the military camp, Xiahou Dun opened the curtain and walked in with a smile on his face.

"Lord, do you see who is coming?

Xiahou Dun hurriedly turned aside and asked Cao Cao to look towards the curtain.

Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xia Houyuan, Cao Chun and other brothers from the clan all appeared and bowed to Cao Cao:"My lord!""

Cao Cao was extremely moved.

He stood up, walked around the commander's case, and came to the brothers:"Zixiao, Zilian, Miaocai, why are you here?

Cao Ren smiled calmly:"My lord, it was Ang'er who wrote to us, saying that you led your troops to Yingchuan to quell the Yellow Turban rebellion. I hope we can come to support you and make achievements together!"

Cao Hong nodded:"Yes!" Although Ang'er is a bit naughty, he still cares about you. Although he sold his ancestral property, he asked Cao Manqing to buy it all back some time ago. I heard that he also made a lot of money."

"This guy......"

Speaking of this, Cao Hong's face was full of admiration:"It's really amazing. My lord, please don't blame Ang'er too much. He is still a child after all!"

Xia Houyuan added with a smile:"My lord may not know yet, Ang'er is not only We bought back the ancestral property and asked the Manchus to bring back a lot of money. Let us recruit troops and strengthen the team to help you!"

Cao Cao felt sad.

He suddenly felt a little sorry for Cao Ang and sighed:"This child......Really......"

Xiahou Dun said softly:"My lord, Miaocai and the others have brought eight thousand soldiers and horses, including two thousand cavalry. To form such an army and horses, I am afraid it will cost at least tens of thousands of gold!""

"only......"

Xiahou Dun scratched his head and frowned:"It's just that the troops and horses are all ready, why not buy some food and grass by the way? What this kid did is really puzzling."

Cao Ren said softly:"Yuan Rang, Ang'er is young after all." Young man, maybe I forgot about it!"

Cao Hong also nodded:"It's very possible!"

Some food and grass should be enough for us."

It's okay not to mention this. Cao Cao became depressed when he mentioned it:"Oh, don't mention it. I didn't expect that the yellow scarf actually hid all the food and grass in the forest. It turned out to be a good thing. I burned it all with a fire."

Cao Ren:"......"

Cao Hong:"......"

Xia Houyuan:"......"

Embarrassment written in bold letters on his face.

Xiahou Dun on the side said:"Don't worry, General Huangfu has already sent people to the court to urge for food and fodder. They are sent together with the good news. I believe the food and fodder will arrive soon."

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Due to the lack of food, the banquet that was supposed to be a welcome relief was also skipped.

Cao Cao went straight to the point and temporarily appointed everyone as military commanders, waiting for promotions after their military exploits.

Everyone was overjoyed and each led an army to drill every day.

*****

Someday.

Cao Cao was discussing military affairs in the military tent.

Suddenly, some soldiers came to tell them that angels had been sent by the court and asked them to gather together to obey the decree.

Cao Cao rushed to the Changshe Government Hall without stopping.

When he stepped into the government hall, there was a man with a beardless face standing in the hall.

He nodded and smiled at Cao Cao:"I guess this is Cao Mengde who burned the Yellow Turban and killed Bo Cai, right?"

Cao Cao bowed his hands and saluted:"Exactly!"

The eunuch smiled slightly:"Mengde, Your Majesty asked me to tell you, You must be good at using your troops, and you have given birth to a good son."

Have you given birth to a good son?"

What does this matter have to do with Cao Ang?

Cao Cao was confused when he heard this, but he still nodded and signaled. Hou was standing aside.

"The generals take the order!

The eunuch immediately became solemn, unfolded the imperial edict in his hand, and raised his voice:"According to the decree of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Huangjin Bocai led more than 100,000 people to cause harm to Yingchuan, intending to subvert the imperial court!""

"......"

"Fortunately, the left Zhonglang general Huangfu Song, the right Zhonglang general Zhu Jun, and the Wugan Zhonglang general Cao Cao worked together to finally defeat the Yellow Turban and the owl thief. I am very relieved!"

"Huangfu Song is specially named the Marquis of Duxiang, Zhu Jun is the Marquis of Xixiang, and Cao Cao is the Marquis of Rongxiang. He has two thousand households in the city to encourage them to continue to fight on the battlefield and serve the country."

"admire this~~~"

All the soldiers raised their hands and said,"Long live my emperor!"

When Cao Cao heard the imperial edict, he was completely confused.

He originally thought that it was a great favor for him to be able to secure the position of General with five senses.

I really didn't expect that I would be granted the title of Marquis. You must know that even my grandfather Cao Teng was just a Tinghou, but I was actually canonized as a Township Marquis!

The Marquis of the Han Dynasty cannot be obtained without military merit!

But Cao Cao really couldn't believe it. During this period of time, he was just like cheating. He must have taken too big a step, and he was directly promoted to the rank of Xianghou!

Although Cao Cao is excited!

But it's more of a worry.

After all, such a promotion will inevitably arouse the jealousy of the courtiers!

I have no foundation in the court. If I arouse the jealousy of the ministers, I am afraid that I will have difficulty in the future!

This is not because Cao Cao is cowardly, but after two hundred years of development in the Han Dynasty, the court has basically become solidified. If someone wants to break this solidification, it will be difficult!

Cao Cao understood the principle of shooting the first bird.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao has some hidden worries. Will the Yuan family tolerate him like this?

A wise man thinks about defeat first and victory later!

But Cao Cao suddenly felt that with his current strength, he simply could not afford such an official position.

"Meng De! Meng De!"

When Cao Cao was deep in thought, a voice interrupted him. He looked up suddenly and saw the eunuch smiling at him:"Young Master has made a great contribution this time. The Yuan family bought the food at Yunwu Villa with huge sums of money and treated it as a treasure. Military rations were sent to the front line."

Cao Cao is worthy of being Cao Cao.

He immediately grasped the key point.

Own food?

Was it bought by the Yuan family with huge sums of money?

Damn it, this rhythm seems a little wrong.

He hurriedly asked:"Angel, what's going on with this food and grass matter? What's going on? Why can't I understand something?

The eunuch said with a smile:"Just right!" If we have time, let's go to your camp and talk."
